Save time managing your social networks-Social Network Aggregation

Posted by Michael in April 13th 2008

With today’s Web being more social and average Web users having more than one account in several of these sites, be it MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg or YouTube, it is becoming increasingly cumbersome to manage each account individually. A new wave of social aggregation services aims to make our online social lives a little easier by displaying information from each social networking site in a single location–where one can keep track of every inane action of their friends through feeds. Today there are dozens of social aggregation services including FriendFeed, Spokeo, Iminta, Dandelife,  and SocialThing! among other start-ups.

US campaign funding

Big bucks

Jul 7th 2008
From Economist.com

Presidential candidates are raising and spending more money than ever

WITH four months still to go, the 2008 presidential race is set to be the most expensive in history. Spending by all candidates has already surpassed the previous high of $823m (at 2008 prices). One notable development in the campaign is Barack Obama’s ability to raise money from small individual contributions of under $200. Of the $287.4m in his coffers, $135.7m has come from donations under $200. John McCain has raised just $32.3m of his smaller $104.6m war chest from such contributions. With an eye on this considerable gap, Mr McCain has accepted public funding and will be restricted to a spending limit of $85m. By contrast, Mr Obama’s controversial rejection of public cash means he is free to spend as much as he likes.
